I got defected last night at RBT, the cops are bad, mad, craszy..... I did nothing wrong, they pull me over for a test, I was fine and then they say my exhaust is too low. I been pull over at 9.30pm, and on the defect paper he put down 8.15pm. give me 24 hour to dirve, I said to him, I need just one working day to fix the problem, may I get a bit extention time, His said to me if i keep asking he will call tow truck to tow my car away!

i'm driving a r34 gtt in adelaide, which is not may parts aroud. just wonder is the r33 catback exhaust and and r34 the same or can fit? and my stock tyre is 225/45/17, now i'm using 235/40/17 is that ok at regency? also the rear left shocker is not good, is that ok at inspection? or else change the pod fillter I'm all stock.

thanks guys

I think you could make an R33 exhaust fit - it will certainly bolt-on to the turbo/dump pipe, but the mounts might be slightly different. I would give it a try if I was you.

tyres are fine.

shocker they may or ma not check.

pod filter is fine as long as it is fixed and doesn't wobble around all over the place.

Thanks mate, that would be great help. PM send.

Another question, you know the r34 xenon head light. I put it back to hid 8000k. what should i do about it? Should I remove it and put the H1 on it or i should put a 4300k xenon builb?

Shoot to down to exhaust technology, they should be able to help you get through defect with your current exhaust.

Did they measure the height of the exhaust? 100mm clearance is what's required.

Where abouts was the defect station?

No they didn't measure, the defect me at RBT! on port road just pass killkenny rd towards city on saturday nigtht last week. they just say it is too low. I measure myself at home, lowest point about 9.5cm. I can make my car up a bit easy.

thanks for your help, I will go to exhaust technology, where about's they are? Is it in city on gouger st? if I don't pass the first inspection do they take your old parts away?

thanks mate

I just called regency. they said coil-overs are ok, must be on the right hight and no leaks. exhaust 90 db. after market bov can't pass, even you pump back. anybody tell me why the HID head light is stardand in Japan, here complance remove it, and put H1 on it. so if I use a 4300k hid builb, can pass the inspection or not.

regency will pass u with coil-overs? is this true? :O

True, very true. I rang up the regency, they put me through to the inspector , his said he can not pass after market BOV, even you pump back. but he will pass coil- over if it is on the legal hight in good codition.

sorry to hear mate! i have to say this but cops need lifes and defects r crap!!! how can the sound of and exhaust be a danger? man seriously they should look for things that could actually harm and be dangerous!!! i know this has been said loads of times but its crap hahaha

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
